Event description

Description

Join us on April 23, 2016 at The York Theatre!

TEDxEastVan is a day-long event that brings together creators, catalysts, designers, and thinkers to share their ideas on the TEDx stage. A day of listening that invites thought, discussion, and play -- the TEDx talks are interspersed with activities, performances, and food worth eating. Our theme this year is "MOVE."

TEDxEastVan is dedicated to discovering great ideas and sharing them with the rest of the world. Acting as a hub of energy and inspiration, the TEDxEastVan stage will bring unique thinkers together in a platform for sharing wisdom and experiences. It is a chance to welcome interesting people into the community and to showcase and celebrate the dynamic ideas which exist in East Vancouver.

TED is a recognized brand that avoids politics/religion/corporate agendas, crossing boundaries in gender, age, culture, and discipline, which appeals to and engages people with multiple interests in an environment that is non-threatening. The connection to the broader TED community is a resource for East Vancouver, for team members and for attendees of our event. It connects our city with others at an international level and at a very personal one and supports the pollination of ideas and actions across cultures and borders.

“Well, you know how after watching a TED Talk you walk away thinking “Whoa! That was amazingly thought provoking and inspirational and delivered in a remarkably eloquent and entertaining way”? TEDx is like that but instead of former presidents or Nobel Prize winning professors, TEDx is local, homespun (and organic?). While the TED Talk format is maintained – that means short but sweet talks and a bias-free, stimulating program – the speakers represent current movements and projects within the community.” ~ From TEDxCourtauldInstitute

“The difference between TED and TEDx events are that the former takes more of a global approach while the latter typically focuses on a local community that concentrates on local voices. “Officially, the ‘x’ in TEDx stands for independently organized TED event – but it’s more of a TED multiplied. It’s been the force that has taken TED across the planet and seeded all of these communities. I’ve never seen anything like it,” Chris Anderson explains, “and I’m absolutely in awe of that.”

You can then take the route 20 (Downtown) bus to York Theatre (Stop ID 51232 Commercial Dr at E Georgia St). Parking in the area is limited and typically metered, so please plan accordingly.

Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?No, we will have a guest list and you'll register with your name. Though, we suggest you have the ticket on you just in case.
